Hokia te waoku kia purea ai – Return to the forest and be restored.
A passionate indigenous artist strives to re-awaken a deeper conversation with the natural world.
Māori musician Kelly Kahukiwa is on a mission to re-vitalise ‘Taonga Pūoro’ traditional Māori instruments, raise awareness of threats to forest health, and foster enduring, inter-generational connections with ‘Te Taiao’ (natural world environments) in the Whangārei area of Te Tai Tokerau (Northland, New Zealand).
His approach is informed by Mātauranga Māori (indigenous knowledge systems) and a deep affinity for the unique indigenous flora and fauna of Aotearoa.
